Morning folks. Cold here this morning heavy frost and 31f when I got up. It's up to 33 now. Sun though. Lots of sun. I haven't been keeping track but it seems like we have had very little rain in the last 2 months. The weather pattern should change soon to one with precipitation every 2 or 3 days. That's the typical fall/winter weather pattern here.

The dry nor'easter continues, been northeast fetch for 5-6 days, virtually no rain, but strong winds and mostly overcast. Sun is out now for the first time to speak of in several days. Highs have been mostly 70's with a couple of 60's, not much different at night.

Not too much done today really! I started out at the local mower shop (loafing spot) for a while. When I got home, the wife wanted to go to Jamesport (15 miles) for some pumpkins & gourds at an ex-Amish greenhouse. Too early for dinner there, so we headed cross country by way of gravel roads to another town for tenderloins. Stopped by a friends new earth-contact home he's building, spent some time visiting him & on to Gilman City. Back home after dinner, did some watering, since it doesn't know how to rain anymore, and loaded for another trip to the farm tomorrow.
